Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 37Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of Water Soluble Calix[4]arene Derivatives Measured Using Qcm Technique(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Okur, Salih; Kuş, Mahmut; Özel, Faruk; Yılmaz, MustafaWe report on the optimization and characterization of water soluble calix[4]arene derivative as a humidity sensor based on quartz crystal microbalance technique. The moisture adsorption and desorption kinetics of calix[4]arene were investigated. The Langmuir model was used to determine the kinetic parameters such as adsorption, desorption rates and Gibbs free energy between relative humidity between 29% and 78%. Reproducible experimental results were obtained showing that water soluble calix[4]arene films have a great potential for humidity sensing applications at room temperature operations. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

The humidity adsorption kinetics of the sulphonated calix[4]arene films was investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. The Langmuir model was used to determine the adsorption rates and Gibbs free energy for various relative humidities between 11% and 97%. Our reproducible experimental results show that suphonated calix[4]arene films have a great potential for humidity sensing applications at room temperature operations. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
